(syllabus)
The course examines the period from the post-war to the present, focusing in the first part on the main stages that have marked the history of Italian cinema in terms of films, authors and genres. In the second part, we will focus instead on a particular topos, that of the beach, which has always been central to the national imagination and of course also in our cinematographic tradition. We will therefore examine the aesthetic, narrative, productive and cultural peculiarities of some cinematographic works in which the "bathing condition" has become a privileged occasion to investigate the main historical, social and anthropological changes experienced by our country in more than half a century.
